Developing your own components

However, an external UIMA component will not be U-Comparable (i.e., it will not be able to interact with U-Compare’s components) unless it inherits U-Compare’s Type System.
To make your UIMA component U-Comparable, all you have to do is to import U-Compare’s Type System in your UIMA descriptor file.
Once your component is U-Comparable, you can import it directly to U-Compare’s library using the import mechanism.
You component will appear under the category Custom Components and it will be ready to use in U-Compare’s pipelines.
